Kartik Panjabi

Engineering Manager at Amazon Web Services leading AWS Glue ETL and Generative AI initiatives, responsible for a 15-engineer organization spanning distributed systems, AI-enabled features, and large-scale data platforms. I set long-term technical vision and multi-year roadmaps in close partnership with product, design, and security leadership, ensuring strong alignment with customer impact, reliability, and responsible system behavior. I have modernized engineering execution and operating mechanisms, resulting in an over 80% reduction in cycle time and significantly improved delivery predictability. Under my leadership, the team launched multiple high-impact platform and Generative AI capabilities, including AI-assisted Spark troubleshooting and natural-language data integration workflows. Previously, I served as a Vice President at Goldman Sachs, where I led engineering teams building and operating mission-critical financial systems at scale.
